Theguild will be giving-out the following item as a starter piece forhelping you get to 10.5 health buffed for your Maulgar set. It issuggested to socket it with straight stamina (we can cut the SolidStars of Elune--12 STA) and 10 STA helm heavy knothide kit to boostthis piece's STA budget even more.

I still have my "Maulgar set" on Lurid in his bags for the time I did Maulgar a few months ago, so if you have any questions on what to get (hint: some are green AH pieces) feel free to ask me or better yet look-up Zabiba in-game since his set (includes some PvP pieces as well) and you can see how he itemized.

The key stats you want are STA, INT, and maintaining high spell hit (like above 60 rating points) so the Spell Steal of the Fire Shield is not resisted or very little. The more +spell hit you have the less you will resist grabbing the shield, which is crucial to your role in the fight. The mage tank role is arguably one of the most important roles in the Maulgar fight. The more +spell hit you have (either itemization, gemming or enchants--ie. gloves) the better and the more successful. You won't take as much fire damage from Krosh Firehand's pyros.

Thank you so much for considering me for doing the mage tanking. I would love to be able to step into that spot when needed. Right now I am currently at 8763 health unbuffed. Since I am seriously horrible with figuring out gear, can someone give me some tips on what I can do/get/work towards to get the right gear for this fight?
